Store Seed Phrase Backup Across Physical & Digital

Store Seed Phrase Backup Across Physical & Digital - Lemmy.World
I’m planning on getting a hardware wallet for better security, but one part of
that which concerns me is backing up my seed phrase. I know I can back it up
onto a dedicated metal card which is my plan, but I feel uncomfortable with the
idea that my seed phrase is just sitting in my house or something out in the
open. I know it’s not advisable to store your seed phrase in a password manager,
but I was thinking I could split the seed phrase up and put part in my password
manager and part on the physical backup? Something along those lines? I just
want to make sure that there isn’t a single place where someone would have to
compromise, but instead they’d have to compromise both my digital and physical
spaces. Has anyone who has the same concerns come up with a good solution that
works for them? Would love to hear about it.
Looking for the Perfect USB Flash Drive

Looking for the Perfect USB Flash Drive - Lemmy.World
I’ve been using some cheap flash drives for things like installing OSs and the
like, but now I’ve picked up a Dell Wyse 3040 system to play with which only has
8gb of storage. So I’m installing the OS onto a flash drive permanently (don’t
worry, just for messing with, nothing of value will be lost if/when the drive
craps out). However, the performance of my cheap flash drive is terrible and
installing packages & transferring files is so slow. My question is: Would
getting a better drive make a meaningful difference here? If so, anyone have
some recommendations of drives they like that are fast?
Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud

Looking for Cloud Storage Replacement, but I don't like NextCloud - Lemmy.World
I’m looking for something to replace cloud storage for myself and family. I’ve
tried to use/like NextCloud but honestly I despise it. The UI/UX really bothers
me, and administering it is a pain. It also just does way more that I want or
need. What I’m looking for: - Supports a virtual/sync folder on Mac. Like iCloud
does, it needs to create a local folder on a Mac. I personally just use SMB, but
for family members that’s not as easy (see next point). - Accessible from the
internet. I don’t want to put my family members on the VPN, but I do have a
central OAuth for other stuff so I want it to be secured with behind that. -
Doesn’t need to have a web interface or phone app. If it integrates into the
computer, it doesn’t really need this. I can just use
(FileBrowser)[https://filebrowser.org/ [https://filebrowser.org/]]. It’s mostly
used for documents and the like, so desktop/laptop use is the most important.
Anyone use anything that fits this? Or anyone in general dislike NextCloud and
use something else?
Is my PSU causing crashes/restarts? Broken, or under-provisioned?

Is my PSU causing crashes/restarts? Broken, or under-provisioned? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been experiencing instability with my system, and I’m beginning to suspect
that the PSU is either faulty or under-provisioned. I’ll get random crashes
(reboots, more specifically), mostly when doing something intensive on the
system like starting up a game. Looking at all the crash logs, I can’t really
find any errors that make sense to me. When the system goes down, all the lights
& fans all die at the same time as the screen, then after a couple of seconds it
comes back on and reboots. I have a Corsair SF600 SFX PSU which is only 600W,
and I’m powering a Ryzen 3700x, a AMD 5700XT GPU, a 1TB M.2 SSD, 32G ddr4
memory, 2 case fans, and a water-cooling pump. Plugging all of that into a
calculator says that 600W is exactly enough, but is that right? Or could
power-usage spikes be pushing things over the edge?
Super Power-Efficient ITX Nas CPU/Motherboard?

Super Power-Efficient ITX Nas CPU/Motherboard? - Lemmy.World
I’ve got a NAS built in a Node 304
[https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/node/node-304/black/] mini itx
case that works great, but uses a ton of power. In Unraid (the OS for my NAS)
there is some kind of issue with the Ryzen 3900x processor that I’m running that
means I have to disable all sleep states - so it’s always at it’s 100W TDP.
Power is super expensive where I live so I’d love to find something more power
efficient. Does it make more sense to buy a more recent(ish) 5th gen ryzen in
hopes that the sleep states will work, and thus save money by keeping my
existing motherboard? Or I could go with something a bit more interesting. I’ve
seen on Aliexpress motherboards with mobile CPU’s soldered which are very power
efficient. For example the N100 has an insane 6W TDP and comes on special boards
with lots of sata ports and 2.5G networking (link)
[https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806183784047.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.25.497352d5XHSSiH&algo_pvid=7f5f10f9-8aeb-464b-865c-175774dbd97f&algo_exp_id=7f5f10f9-8aeb-464b-865c-175774dbd97f-12&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21306.00%21205.02%21%21%21306.00%21205.02%21%402101f4a117067252270351433e36bd%2112000036929406094%21sea%21US%21709316197%21AC&curPageLogUid=Ix9K5IGysQVf&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A].
The worry with the n100 though is that it only officially supports 16G of ram
which might not be enough for zfs. Any thoughts? Is anyone running a
power-efficient build who could throw some advice my way? Thanks!
Kubernetes? docker-compose? How should I organize my container services in 2024?

Kubernetes? docker-compose? How should I organize my container services in 2024? - Lemmy.World
Currently, I run Unraid and have all of my services’ setup there as docker
containers. While this is nice and easy to setup initially, it has some major
downsides: - It’s fragile. Unraid is prone to bugs/crashes with docker that take
down my containers. It’s also not resilient so when things break I have to log
in and fiddle. - It’s mutable. I can’t use any infrastructure-as-code tools like
terraform, and configuration sort of just exist in the UI. I can’t really roll
back or recover easily. - It’s single-node. Everything is tied to my one big
server that runs the NAS, but I’d rather have the NAS as a separate fairly
low-power appliance and then have a separate machine to handle things like VMs
and containers. So I’m looking ahead and thinking about what the next iteration
of my homelab will look like. While I like unraid for the storage stuff, I’m a
little tired of wrangling it into a container orchestrator and hypervisor, and I
think this year I’ll split that job out to a dedicated machine. I’m comfortable
with, and in fact prefer, IaC over fancy UIs and so would love to be able to use
terraform or Pulumi or something like that. I would prefer something multi-node,
as I want to be able to tie multiple machines together. And I want something
that is fault-tolerant, as I host services for friends and family that currently
require a lot of manual intervention to fix when they go down. So the question
is: how do you all do this? Kubernetes, docker-compose, Hashicorp Nomad? Do you
run k3s, Harvester, or what? I’d love to get an idea of what people are doing
and why, so I can get some ideas as to what I might do.
Been Learning on my ZSA Moonlander, but I'm Stuck at 60WPM

Been Learning on my ZSA Moonlander, but I'm Stuck at 60WPM - Lemmy.World
I recently got a ZSA Moonlander and started learning colemak dh. It’s been a
really fun journey so far and I’m now able to type consistently at 60 WPM.
However, as you can see from the chart I’ve sort of hit a plateau at 60 and I’m
having trouble breaking it. I think it’s time to switch up my training strategy.
So far, I’ve been using keybr.io [http://keybr.io] and typelit which have both
been great. Are there any other tools folks have used during this
not-quite-beginner but not-yet-fast stage?
Thanks all who replied and shared their experiance! For now, I’m going to learn colemak dh and keep trying on the learning curve. From what I’ve tried so far, it seems like my problems with the ortho keyboard were mostly due to my bad form on qwerty. Now that I’m learning colemak (with proper form) it seems like I can pretty much swap between ortho and staggered without much issue. Now I just have to build the muscle memory for the new layout!

Just started my ergo adventure, but I have questions... - Lemmy.World
I just got a ZSA Moonlander and I’ve been… on an adventure with it. Turns out my
typing technique was total garbage so I’ve had to essentially start re-learning
how to touch type. That, plus the ortho layout, plus the other ways my layout is
now changed (special chars) has made the learning curve feel steep. Going
through all this has made me wonder some things about the long-term, and so I
was hoping to lean on folks with more experience for some answers. 1) Does
learning to touch type on ortho (or a new layout w/ thumb clusters and such)
mess with your ability to touch type on normal staggered boards? I still use my
laptop when I travel and there is no shot I’ll be lugging around an ergo board.
2) Is it worth going crazy with it and trying to learn workman or colemak at the
same time? On some level I feel like it might not be that much harder, since it
feels like I’m re-learning to touch type anyway. 3) Would it be better to start
with a keyboard that’s just split, but otherwise the same (Instead of ortho and
alternative layout etc)? And maybe later move on to a crazier layout?

the stuff I torrent, does usenet provide an advantage there? > > Usenet fans,
I’d love to hear what makes you love it! I’m always open to trying new things,
and if It really is better I’d love to know why! (Plus, maybe what
providers/tools etc you recommend).
